IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract Submission: 7th May 2025 – 28th August 2025
Early Registration: 1st June 2025 – 1st September 2025
AIM & SCOPE
Visualization of complex phenomena in material processing through advanced measurements and simulation provides crucial insights into the mechanisms that support the development of new technologies. The International Symposium on Visualization in Joining & Welding Science through Advanced Measurements and Simulation (Visual-JW) was first held in 2010, organized by the Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI), The University of Osaka. The 7th International Symposium of Visual-JW 2025 aims to further advance research in this field. Additionally, a special symposium on the Research Activities of the Joint Usage/Research Center on Joining and Welding will be held. We look forward to welcoming participants from around the world to this academic event.
